We had a fantastic meal for my sons 5th birthday. We dropped off a cake and balloons the day of the meal and the staff had the table ready. During the meal the cake was brought to the table and everyone sang… happy birthday. My son was made to feel very special. The food was amazing (as always) and the service was amazing. Thank you so much for helping us to make special memories!

Large menu and super quick and friendly service but some of our dishes were really not nice. The paella was particularly bad, tasted so fishy and the meat and fish in it not fresh at all. The aubergine was pretty tasteless when you didn't get and overly sweet hit of honey. The calamari was pretty good, but the chorizo in wine, bacon wrapped dates and the blue cheese croquettes were all delicious. We did complain about the paella and it was rectified by taking it off the bill as we'd barely eaten it. Overall OK but this was my third visit (first time in the new venue) and pretty disappointed.

Great atmosphere and amazing service. We had dinner for two with drinks, tapas and desserts. The size of the tapas is on the small side(think this is implied thou) and you need at least two per person. Desseerts we had were both hommade and were amazing! Service is next level, they will ask you how is the food and if they can help with aomething and are verry attentive. Serving ia so fast that we had our drinks before evwn finiahing the order and that was so inpressive. Deffinetly worth the visit!
